Squirrels and birds are turning the lights out on customers in Alaska's capital. Wildlife has knocked out power to Juneau customers seven times this year, the Juneau Empire reported. The latest was Wednesday night when a bald eagle dropped trash from a city landfill onto a line. The fallen eagle fodder caused a loud bang and knocked out power to 10,020 customers, said Debbie Driscoll, spokeswoman for Alaska Electric Light and Power Co. Wildlife disrupts power in communities around the country, but Juneau, a commercial fishing community, gets power interruptions from a large eagle population and sometimes even fish. Last year, the company recorded six avian deaths: three eagles, one raven, one crow and one grouse. In 2012, five eagles, three ravens and two crows were electrocuted.
